The Tarot Minor Arcana's Meaning
Hello and welcome to the Tarot Minor Arcana's meaning :)
The greatest percentage of the tarot deck are minor arcana cards. Those cards complete the deck, making it more harmonious and complete.
The 56 cards of the minor arcana are divided into four suits. Each and every suit represent a distinct aspect of the life of our consultant.
One can use numerology in conjuction with the minor arcana because the cards are numbered from Ace to 10.
There are four figures in each suit too, the Page, Knight, Queen and King; which gets 14 cards in each suit.

- Me either, I don't like to read the Tarot cards for my family, there are too many chances for me to Interpret them wrongly or in the way I want them to be or maybe learn things that I don't want to learn. So, if I need a reading for my family I send them to someone I know who reads the cards perfectly as well.

- Very interesting. I've had my cards read before but not for a while. My Mother used to read tarot all the time for others but wasn't happy to do it for family.

- Hi and thanks for the compliment :) Well, actually I've never got a negative feedback on how the predictions I did work, only positive feedbacks. So, yes, I believe they really work, we just can't interpret the cards the way the consultant want they answer to their questions. I mean, if the consultant wonders if they will marry but I don't see a future wedding, I will say "I'm sorry but I see nothing related to relationship nor marriage", instead of "yes, you'll meet someone and would probably get married within one year or two..." :)
